The Hancock County Hornets win on a Brendan Lewis layup as time expires. He had 29 on the game, pushing him past 1,000 for his career. James Baker had 12 for Meade.

HC 61 MC 60. Score correction.

Fantastic ride for the Hornets this season. I keep doubting them but they keep proving me wrong. They sure would be a fun story to go all the way to Rupp. Here is a link to the video of the final play....

Congrats to Hancock Co. They played an amazing first half and hit shot after shot (don't think they could've played any better in the half). The box and one on Baker seemed to work as well. Meade County survived the barrage on HC's home floor and found a way to fight back, but had a few unforced turnovers down the stretch. I think MC will be a tough out in the regionals if they can find just a little more consistency. The loss might have been what they needed to regroup. Not that they haven't taken any losses this year because they have taken quite a few. But it really is a different team with Baker and other players stepping up. MC showed that it can compete even when its star player was limited offensively. Should be a fun 3rd Region Tournament. Thanks to Hancock County for hosting a great district tournament!
